questions on the painting methods of rubber dip/ tendrils

Posted in Custom Workstation

I read that if you want to paint tendrils (rubber dipped twist ties or the likes) you should mix latex with your paint to give it the ability to bend and move without chipping, however, where do you guys buy the latex? I looked at lowes near the latex based paint and didn't see what I was after (I don't think). And as to not spend money on something that wouldn't work in the long run I figured I would ask you guys. So any clues? anybody done this? any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help.
